I just finished rating the last of my unrated songs in iTunes. I’d done this back in 2005, but since then another 1000 or so songs made their way into my library1. Those are now rated as well – I guess it’s time to rip some more of my CDs.

I blame Geof Morris for his generous gift of bootleg CDs and getting me to experiment with torrents. [back]

I have a playlist in iTunes called “Unrated/Unplayed” that lists all of my songs which are either unrated or unplayed. I routinely set my Party Shuffle to play from that list. Combined with Synergy, this makes staying on top of my ratings quite easy.

Chris is right, Alex: My friends call me “our musical crack dealer”. It also helps that I always have about five CDs from my library in someone else’s hands at all times.

That said, you didn’t say how many tracks were in your library. I’m curious … but also glad that you’re not starting a penis-envy thing here.

Torrenting legal bootlegs is the 21st Century of tape-swapping amongst Deadheads and their ilk. It always astounds me when an artist forbids all taping. [I get not allowing SBD patches, and frankly, I’ll take a good AUD over most any SBD.]

Okay, okay … I’m going to shut up now, because otherwise, I could write an entire entry here in the comments. Besides, I have another bootleg to publish.
